Advisory Committees and Councils

We believe that the partnership between the District, our school, and the community is vital to the success of all children. As such, we are pleased to provide a number of opportunity for parents and community member to become involved in our schools.

Evergreen School District facilitates many district-wide councils and advisory committees that are open to the public. These councils include the District Advisory Committee (DAC), District English Language Advisory Committee (DELAC), Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) and the Measure I and M oversight committee.

Additionally, our school hosts and facilitates a number of parent groups. For more information about the specific councils, please click on the headings below or contact your school's front office.

District Advisory Committee (DAC)

The District Advisory Committee (DAC) is comprised of representatives from each of the 16 School Site Councils. This committee meets five times a year with the purpose of advising the school district in the development of educational programs that receive categorical funding. While voting members are elected to their positions, all meetings are open to the public. The committee meets the first Wednesday of October (a district-wide training) and the second Wednesday of November, January, February, March, and May. Meetings are held in the Phyllis Lindstrom Technology Learning Center (3188 Quimby Road) from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

School Site Council (SSC)

What is School Site Council (SSC)?

True student success is built on a foundation of collaborative partnership. Guided by the California Education Code (CEC 52852), our School Site Council (SSC) serves as a vital bridge between home, classroom, and campus leadership.

The SSC brings together a dedicated team of parents, teachers, and school staff who work hand-in-hand to shape the educational experience at our school. By partnering closely with the principal, this council ensures that diverse perspectives guide our school's strategic goals, programmatic decisions, and resource allocation. It is a true reflection of our shared commitment to creating the best possible learning environment for every student.
